Friends..Colleagues..modellers..nowadays ECMs are getting inexpensive..and yes, powerful and maint: free, when compared to a Brushed motor..but the sheer power from an ECM never come with ease..it will eat a big ampereage, while running..but my experience shows, that the brushed motors are still good for displacement and heavy crafts, with ease, while eating very less current..so, runs for a long time..and is very easy to make an ESC, with reverse, if we are using a brushed motor..but one of the main problem is with any motor is over heating, especially when use a powerful motor..and usually we looks for some extra ordinary ideas to cool a motor..but here see a simplest possible idea to cool a brushed motor, may be in any size, and type..

yes, i know all you know, but still have some cool simple way..take a drinking straw, a thick one is preffered, or can take copper tube, will be difficult to work, or a body of a ball point pen, anything that feel apropriate, in to a desired length..

fill some fine sand, in to the tube, and heat it up with cigar lighter, and bend it to a l shape..copper or steel must be heated up with gas torch, or on a gas stove burner..

still i preffer the thick straw, because it is very easy to work with..but still works perfectly..

drip out all sands..and cut the bend with a sharp blade in a slanting manner..

roopeshkrishna

this way of cutting gives us a big intake without flanging the tip..

now make an apropriate hole on the bottom side of the hull, just in front, of the prop within arop arch..

insert the sliced tube in the hole, and make a second hole on a convenient place to the side of the hull..connect a silicon tube in between the intake and outlet tubes..

check the water flow, while placing the craft in water and motor at full..adjust the intake tube slightly with fingers untill the flow reaches the maximum level...

now apply glue to the tube, without disturbing its position...

now take a copper tube, in to 5, or 6 according to motor size, can purchased from any A/C, Refrigeration spare dealers, or from a hardware store, costs 15 Rs for a feet..

it is very easy to wind the tube over motor...start to wind the tube around the motor, while keeping a tip in mind about the easiest position of inlet and outlet tubes..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

see here how easy to wind it..and please avoid much tight winding, instead leave a card paper thickness all around between coils, because we have to apply the heat sink compound later..

see the simple cooling device..is ready..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

fix it on the motor, and root the inlet and out let tubes..seal it with apropriate glues..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

apply the heat sink compound, can purchased from any electronic shops, as it is used to seal any gaps in integrated circuit chip installation...its cheap, and costs Rs 10 for a tube..

make sure the inlet tube still in correct position and dried well..

now time for a recheck..make sure the flow is un interupted..and thick at full throttle...Friends..see how easy to make a motor cooler..and works perfectly..when compared to a permenant pump for cooling, here can save battery from the pump motor..and the flow will increase according to RPM..gives us a more realistic feel..and as motor RPM increases it also cooles down the BCM...cool....and using this even on my biggest ships...

yes see the test video here..

Friends..we can cool down anything with this simple idea..ESC..Cards..anything..works nicely..try once..and run your crafts for hours... :thumbsup:

VC Sir..i am only one among you all..i tries some thing like this from the helplesness..at last reach in some good utility..

not great..Mase..its simple..but saved lots of my motors...can also cool ECMs..and ESCs..

@ Roopesh Sir, Its a very great idea of cooling a brush motor, I missed this before I built my craft.....Will make another one and incorporate the same setup!!!

I will also try in my new craft.....hope i can make it.....
thank you sir....... :hatsoff:
